Hello,

I've found a problem with drag and drop an attachement from a e-mail to a file manager on linux. I'm using a Imap Account type (google). It should copy the file, instead it tell the file manager to find the file on a imap link : imap:mailaccount@imap.googlemail.com:993/fetch......filename=....

I've got the same problem on Kde (fedora), gnome (fedora) and unity(ubuntu). This works ok with kmail and evolution.

Thunderbird version : 24.4

I hope you can help me with this problem.

Here some screen caps to show the situation :

(kde fedora) http://postimg.org/image/qvqbd9rmv/ http://postimg.org/image/6gkf18dij/

(unity ubuntu)

Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
